I actually owned one of these: http://oldcomputers.net/sx64.html I remember an expansion module that I stuck through that little port on the "top" that upgraded it to cbm basic v4. Did anyone remember a game called "crackout"? Filled almost the entire memory.

I wanted one of those, Jim...however I did end up with a C=128. It's amazing what could be done with a 1mHz processor, 64k of memory, and 8 bits.

Hello Martin, Oh the memories eh. It's amazing how we take so much for granted today with regard to our computers and what we expect them to do without any effort from us. I suppose that's a good thing when we get older. Regards. Bob
